The voting process has started ahead of the World Athletics Awards
World Athletics has confirmed a list of 10 nominees for the Women’s World Athlete of the Year award, with Nigeria’s golden girl Tobi Amusan one of the nominees.
The confirmation signaled the beginning of the voting process ahead of the World Athletics Awards.
10 athletes were selected by an international panel of athletics experts, comprising representatives from all six continental areas of World Athletics.
World 100 metres hurdles champion Amusan set a world record of 12.12 seconds earlier this year, and won the Diamond League, Commonwealth and African titles.
She has been picked alongside Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica, who is the world 100m champion after claiming a fifth gold medal in the event.
